And now we play the waiting game

Interesting article over at Web Worker Daily talking about the impact of the recession, at least from the US point of view.

Got me thinking about how we might get a handle on what is happening here. I drag myself out of bed every morning to the depressing news from Radio National, to a world that in reality seems to be marking time and waiting for something to happen. I’m doing this myself: whenever someone asks me whether Web Directions has been affected, I can only really say that we won’t know until we start trying to sell tickets for upcoming Australian events.

I’ve heard of the odd redundancy among the wide circle of “people I know”, but most of us would still appear to be living the good life, planning overseas trips and so on. Business as usual. The obvious sectors not to be working in at the moment are banking, mining and tourism, but, even within these, I wonder who the people are who are actually being laid off.

At least according to some research, online isn’t a bad place to be at the moment. Fingers crossed I guess.

What’s happening in your little part of the world?

Ah, the waiting game sucks. Let’s play Hungry-Hungry-Hippos!
